He was one of several list members who gave me advice 2 years ago and it was spot on. I use my old SP500,set at 125 f 11 and #25 Tiffen red.I also have tele's and a 28mm wide angle that i bought from Chris Brogden. Excellent results from this lens.It gives it a cripser look sometimes. I like to find a mix of dec. and con. trees.The con does not "glow" as much and adds a bit of contrast. There was some talk a while back about the film plate dimples may arm the film.Not sure what the result was. And yes LOAD AND UNLOAD IN TOTAL DARKNESS.Take it to some one who nows what they are doing.I put a piece of electrical tape around the lip of the plastic can as a just in case and write on it. Some of my humble samples are at: http://www.usefilm.com/browse.php?mode=port&data=12823 Enjoy,its a great medium. Dave
